Be Part of The Solution

Boys and girls,

I'm unaware of your financial situation but I do believe that you're reading this page because you care about your health and fitness. If you have plenty of income and love your job then what I’m about to tell you might not be for you. If you're not thrilled with the way you make a living, would like extra income, love Beachbody products, like the way they make you look and feel, enjoy helping other people feel and look better, enjoy setting your own hours, get excited about being the captain of your own ship as opposed to working for the man - then listen up.

The reality is, your health and fitness moves beyond you. It impacts the people around you. You (whether you like it or not) have the power to change lives based solely on your own personal transformation. Inadvertently you become a catalyst for change. This is how I got started. I was clueless, asked a few questions based on my need to be strong and healthy, stayed with it and people in my life wanted to know what I was doing. Simple yet powerful.

If you want to share what you've learned with people in your life who want better health (and could use extra income in the process) then you should consider becoming a Team Beachbody Coach. I felt so strongly about this program that I’ve encouraged many of my friends to become coaches, even my own sister. She is doing great (even though my contract with Beachbody won’t let me help her). She is a perfect example of someone who had plenty of doubt and hesitation regarding the coaching opportunity and still found a way to make it work for her. A busy working wife and mother with three very active kids doesn't sound like a good candidate to start an in-home multi-level marketing company. Did you say multi level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or kitty liter, but this is Beachbody people! The number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily becoming the most popular fitness system in US history. Shakeology is the revolutionary replacement meal on the market today. We sell life-altering change - not soap. Tens of thousands of regular folk around this country are doing something they love because of this coach opportunity.

The unemployment rate still hovers around 10% but it doesn't have to be that way if more people were willing to see that new opportunities exist all around them. The Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity is one of them. Health care companies, pharmaceutical companies and our government are not capable of solving this obesity crisis and we can't wait around for them to do it. The crisis is now and the answer is YOU! I know that sounds a bit Rah Rah but it's true.

Cynics don't need to apply, but if you're sick and tired of the status quo and want to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of those around you, then open the door. The two major issues of our time - the health care issue and unemployment rate could be resolved if a million more people in this country decided to get healthy and share the wealth. This is a brand new industry waiting to explode. It's not happening in boardrooms or factories – it’s happening in the homes of tens of thousands of Team Beachbody Coaches and in the homes of their customers. With a tiny investment (actually the company is waiving the enrollment fee through the end of 2010) and a willingness to help people the sky's the limit.

Thanks Tony! Still amazes me that because of Power 90 over 9 years ago and finding out I could be fit...and I liked that feel...that led me to where I am now.. financially free because of team beachbody coaching.There is a better way to live than paycheck to paycheck!

I wish that BB was not so quick to classify a new coach as 'inactive' when they are newly signed up. With the coach fee waived, I'm signing up people who are new to this and trying it out for the first time. I waited 3 months before I became a coach after I completed P90X the first time. I think it's a bit unfair to be in a hurry to classify a coach as inactive right off the bat.

I hope to become a Beachbody Coach when I complete my 90 days of P90X which I just started yesterday. I'm excited to work with others to help them become healthier and happier by exercising daily. Thanks Tony for developing all your workout DVD's.

I'm a fitness instructor but was looking for some new ideas and challenges. Love these P90X workouts...did the chest workout that has all the pushups in it last week and it brought me to tears, which I loved. I'm about done with week 6. Anyway, am going to finish P90X and then do Insanity and then maybe the kickboxing routine that BB has as well. Am just enjoying the extra challenge.

I love telling friends that I'm a coach and represent one of the greatest companies out there...one that really cares about people. Also just pre-ordered Tony's book. What an awesome combination and thanks again Tony for the inspiration!!!

Tony, I am a very fit 50 year old woman, who has been doing P90X for 18 months. I left extensive positive feedback on amazon.com for the workout and got several people I know to buy your product simply because I KNOW it works and it is THE BEST training program one can do in the comfort of their own home.

I was invited to be a coach when I first finished the series, had a few email exchanges with a coach who almost convinced me to go for it (especially because I am a blogger already), but I declined. It just doesn't feel right for me - the idea that every person who is saying positive things about P90X or the shakes and products is getting money to do so bothers me. Call me naive, fine. I will continue to do all the advertising I do without receiving a cent for it.

If I could ask you a personal favor, though. I would love to be in touch with someone with REAL experience on women fitness after menopause. This is an issue that doesn't receive enough attention, most advice given is "go for walks around the block"...

I am looking for advice geared towards women who have been in top shape their whole life, but now need to battle a major metabolic change.

Hi Tony, just wanted to say that you have change my life! Been using P90X days and nights and I've never felt this good before. I just wanna thank you for creating this fitness program where it benefits all of us. As for my life right now, I'm selling designer t-shirts on my own website and I would like to give you a free t-shirt to show you my gratitude. Don't worry my t-shirts are fitted so you can show off your guns! You can contact me at jackchan1983 at gmail.com

Tony is spot on in his comments. I have been a coach for a while and it's about literally changing the trend of obesity one person at a time starting with yourself and having FUN doing it...and getting paid is a bonus!

I know that Beachbody is going to be expanding their international markets in 2011. Send me a message for more details.

summary- my name is Michael Field, and I am interested in becoming a coach, I would like some extra income, but do not need it, for references contact me at Toykilling@aim.com

Hello Tony, I doubt you will have time to read this, but I would like to apply to your offer. I am Michael Field, I am a seventeen year old track captain from Florida. I run a very busy highschool schedule, but would be happy to help people reach their goals on a level of personal fitness. Although I am still in my second stage of the P90x lean routine, I have been a captain on my highschool cross country team, and track team, for motivating the other students. If this is a help wanted ad, I could use the money if not, then I would still be more then happy to help others. If you would like references please contact me at Toykilling@aim.com

The coaching program is awesome. It is not only an affiliate program - where you refer people to buy products that you believe in and you get a commission. But on top of that (if that wasn't enough) there is a network marketing program built-in, if you want to further your reach and income. It's awesome.

I am a Canadian girl with a 1 yr old, doing p90x for the 2nd time. It's changed my body & my life, I would love to be a coach and help others do the same. Please consider letting us Canadians in on this fabulous opportunity!

I just started P90X 6 days ago. I just keep telling myself through each work out to just keep moving, even if I can't finish every rep or motion. My husband is in far better shape but I have been doing yoga and it motivated me to keep going because I did kick his butt on that dvd. Small victory, but a victory nonetheless! Is there some where on-line where you lend your vocal support support say, such as an xbox platform, where people could work out live? Maybe I just gave you your next million dollar idea. I may have to do the P180X version but so far I am holding steady.

dear tony, my name is joe domascieno im from a small town in ohio and i am 23 years young, threw out high school i was over weight coming in at 5'8 250lbs. after graduating i was sick of being made fun of and out of shape so i changed my life. i started small by just fixing my diet. i lost 90 lbs in about a year by just running and eating right. over the last couple years ive realized how important health is and should be to everyone. i love love love till my daddy take my tbird away, p90x. it is my get away from the bullshit of the world. i will never stop getting in shape, learning more about health and the human body and what it can do and trying to help other people around me to do the same. im already helping 5 of my close friends with what they need to know to get healthy and i have you and your organizations to thank. so thank you tony. im a drivin young man trying to help the rest of the world so if theres a way for me to be a coach id love to

Tony, I work with a firm that produces meetings and events. What do you think about a convention based on finding more prospects to do this work and promote your product? We have the resources to produce the event and you need only give us your input and be at the event. See info on our upcoming event at http://connectyourmeetings.com/2009/12/04/2010-connect-marketplace/

I echo the comments of people in Europe and Canada. We don't have anything remotely like P90x in Australia. In fact work out DVDs just aren't really something that have taken off.

The fact that you get so much more variety in the P90X workouts in your lounge room and can schedule the classes to suit you not suit the gym and the 90% of the rest of the population is just fantastic. On the odd occasion where I am travelling and have gone along to the gym I get so bored.

From a young age, I have never really cared much about breakfast, and just eaten what was available in the fridge. Try to have everyone's plate set up so you can do things almost like an assembly line, it'll save you time and you won't have to wash up as much. Not only was a tasty food created for the patients at The Battle Creek Sanitarium, but unbeknownst to the brothers, a whole new industry had been created. Know of an old war bunker, fall-out shelter, or large basement? That's the type place for your end of the world bash if possible.
